Answer:

a) P(t) = 6.29e^(0.0241t)

b) P(6) ≈ 7.3 million

c) 10 years

d) 28.8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

a) You have written the equation.

P(t) = 6.29·e^(0.0241·t)

b) 2018 is 6 years after 2012.

P(6) = 6.29·e^(0.0241·6) ≈ 7.2686 ≈ 7.3 . . . million

c) We want t for ...

8 = 6.29·e^(0.0241t)

ln(8/6.29) = 0.0241t

t = ln(8/6.29)/0.0241 ≈ 9.978 ≈ 10.0 . . . years

d) Along the same lines as the calculation in part (c), doubling time is ...

t = ln(2)/0.0241 ≈ 28.7613 ≈ 28.8 . . . years

Which is the most accurate way to estimate 25% of 53?

Alex Ar [27]

You can calculate them out and check which one is the most accurate

so if one of the choices was 1/3 of 50, then you would do:
1/3 in the calculator (should be 0.333...) times 50

And you can compare it with the EXACT number, which is:
0.25*53=13.25

This way you can test all the options

The student council is hosting a drawing to raise money for scholarships. They are selling tickets for $9 each and will sell 500

ryzh [129]

Answer:

-$2.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Give that

The selling price per ticket is $9

And the number of tickets sold is 500

So,

There is one grand prize, three $300 second prize, and eleven $40 third prizes

We need to find out the expected value of the profit

$= \frac{1}{500} \times 2000 + \frac{3}{500} \times 300 + \frac{11}{500} \times 40\\\\$

= 4 + 1.8 + 0.88

= 6.68

Now the expected profit is

= $6.68 - $9

= -$2.32
